Memphis has a growing fiber market alongside established cable networks and address-qualified 5G home internet. AT&T Fiber is available in parts of Memphis with speeds up to 5 Gbps where offered. A separate local fiber build is underway through the Smart Memphis Fiber partnership, with mStreet Fiber building infrastructure and Ting serving as the internet provider. Xfinity and Spectrum remain major wired alternatives, while Verizon and T-Mobile provide fixed-wireless home internet where individual addresses qualify.
A ZIP code identifies the general Memphis market, but it cannot establish which networks reach a particular house, apartment or building. Use the complete service address when making the final availability check.
The ZIP-page redirect is a starting point. Provider websites remain the authoritative source for current address-level eligibility, plan pricing and installation terms.
Memphis is entering a new phase of broadband competition. AT&T already operates a substantial fiber footprint, while the Smart Memphis Fiber project is building another fiber network intended to reach at least 85% of the city's population. Xfinity and Spectrum remain established wired providers, and fixed wireless adds another address-qualified choice.
The City of Memphis partnered with mStreet Fiber on a fiber infrastructure project designed to bring affordable fiber broadband to 85% of the city's population. Ting is the ISP associated with the residential service rollout.
Compare Memphis fiber providers →mStreet Fiber is building the Smart Memphis Fiber network across Memphis, but construction plans and infrastructure commitments should not be treated as proof that a particular house or apartment is ready to order Ting service.
See Memphis availability notes →Ting and AT&T Fiber advertise symmetrical fiber service where available. Cable service from Xfinity and Spectrum uses different network architectures, while 5G home internet depends on cellular network conditions and the service address.
Compare technologies →The FCC National Broadband Map reports provider availability at individual locations. Provider address checkers should then be used to confirm the service, plan and installation terms that can actually be ordered.
See methodology →The table focuses on providers with current Memphis service information from provider or public-sector sources. Pricing and speed figures are advertised values and should not be interpreted as proof that every Memphis address receives the same offer.

Prices and speed figures were reviewed September 24, 2026. Ting currently advertises Home Fiber at $89/month with up to 2,000 Mbps download and upload speeds. AT&T advertises fiber speeds up to 5 Gbps where available. Spectrum's current national Internet Gig offer is $60/month for one year, while exact Memphis offers should be checked at the address. Verizon and T-Mobile pricing depends on eligibility and applicable discounts. Promotional pricing can change without notice.
Memphis has both established broadband networks and a significant new fiber deployment. The Smart Memphis Fiber project is particularly important because it adds a separate fiber infrastructure build rather than simply expanding an existing cable network.
Ting is the internet service provider associated with the Smart Memphis Fiber rollout. The City of Memphis says its partnership with mStreet Fiber carries a commitment to deliver affordable fiber broadband to 85% of the city's population. Ting currently advertises a 2 Gbps Home Fiber plan with symmetrical download and upload speeds. Service remains dependent on the status of the fiber build at the individual address.
AT&T's Memphis pages identify AT&T Fiber as available in parts of the city and advertise speeds up to 5 Gbps where available. AT&T also offers Internet Air in locations where fiber is not available. The service type and specific speed depend on the address.
Xfinity maintains a dedicated Memphis service page and confirms that it provides internet service in the Memphis area. Its current Memphis information lists 300 Mbps and 500 Mbps service, while higher tiers and exact pricing depend on the service address and current offer.
Spectrum provides fiber-powered Internet service in its service areas and advertises Internet Gig at up to 1 Gbps. Spectrum describes its standard Internet service as fiber-powered with the final connection commonly using coaxial cable. A separate 100% fiber product exists in limited service areas and should be verified by address.
Verizon 5G Home Internet uses Verizon's cellular network rather than a wired fiber or cable line. Verizon states that not every location with 5G Ultra Wideband coverage qualifies for home service. Availability and performance depend on the service address and network conditions.
T-Mobile offers 5G Home Internet in Memphis and maintains multiple Memphis locations specifically associated with Home Internet. The company requires a complete address check before showing which plan and pricing are available at a particular property.
Memphis now has access to several fiber options at qualifying addresses, including AT&T Fiber and the expanding Ting network. Xfinity and Spectrum provide cable-based alternatives, while 5G home internet can fill the gap at some addresses. The useful plan size depends on the number of simultaneous users, applications, connected devices and the home's network hardware.
Suitable for routine browsing, HD streaming, video calls and ordinary connected devices. A 300 Mbps connection provides additional capacity when several devices are active at once.
Provides more capacity for simultaneous streaming, remote work, gaming and connected household devices. Xfinity and Spectrum both publish plans in this range.
Useful for larger households with several simultaneous users, large downloads, cloud backups, gaming and high-bandwidth streaming.
Relevant when multiple users and wired devices can actually use additional bandwidth. Ting currently advertises symmetrical residential service up to 2 Gbps in Memphis.
Relevant for homes with multiple demanding users, large transfers, advanced wired networking or workloads capable of using multi-gig capacity. AT&T Fiber advertises tiers up to 5 Gbps where available.
Multi-gig plans require compatible routers, switches, Ethernet connections and client devices to make practical use of the additional capacity. A plan's advertised maximum should not be confused with the speed available to every device over Wi-Fi.
Connection technology matters because advertised download speed does not describe the whole service. Upload capacity, latency, network architecture and address-level availability can differ substantially between Memphis providers.
AT&T Fiber provides an established fiber option in parts of Memphis, while the Smart Memphis Fiber project is building another fiber network with Ting as the ISP. Ting currently advertises symmetrical speeds up to 2 Gbps, while AT&T advertises up to 5 Gbps where available.
Xfinity and Spectrum provide established wired broadband service in Memphis. Their traditional networks use fiber deeper in the network and coaxial cable for at least part of the connection to the customer premises. This differs from direct fiber-to-the-home service.
Verizon and T-Mobile can deliver home broadband through cellular networks, and AT&T also offers Internet Air in eligible locations. Availability and actual performance can depend on radio conditions, network capacity and the individual service address.
Memphis is in the middle of a major fiber expansion. AT&T already operates fiber in parts of the city, while Smart Memphis Fiber is building a separate network through mStreet Fiber with Ting as the ISP. The city says the project carries an 85% population commitment, including neighborhoods that have historically had less access to high-speed broadband.
The City of Memphis partnered with mStreet Fiber on a project intended to expand affordable fiber broadband to at least 85% of the city's population. The infrastructure project is separate from the existing AT&T network and is designed to add another fiber competitor to Memphis.
mStreet Fiber is responsible for the infrastructure build while Ting provides the internet service associated with the Smart Memphis Fiber rollout. Ting currently advertises 2 Gbps symmetrical residential fiber service and maintains Memphis-specific availability and installation information.
A Memphis address may be in a neighborhood included in the broader fiber project without being ready for an order. Ting's own Memphis information distinguishes between areas being explored, designed or constructed and homes that are fiber-ready. Address-level verification is therefore especially important during the rollout.
Neighborhood names help identify Memphis's local geography, but they should not be treated as proof that every address in an area can order the same provider or speed. The final check should always use the complete service address.
Memphis includes a large number of distinct residential areas, from Downtown and Midtown to East Memphis, North Memphis, South Memphis, Whitehaven, Cordova and other communities within the city. The neighborhood names below provide geographic context rather than provider-availability guarantees.
Smart Memphis Fiber is being built as a citywide infrastructure project rather than as a small downtown-only deployment. The City says the partnership with mStreet Fiber carries a commitment to reach 85% of Memphis's population, including neighborhoods that have historically lacked high-speed broadband access.
For an individual home or apartment, the most reliable sequence is to identify the exact address, review the FCC National Broadband Map, check Ting if the Smart Memphis Fiber network is nearby, and then confirm current offers through AT&T, Xfinity, Spectrum and the fixed-wireless providers.
Provider lists explain the Memphis market, but they are not substitutes for an address-level availability check.
The FCC National Broadband Map lets users search an individual location and see providers, technologies and maximum advertised speeds reported through the Broadband Data Collection. Fixed broadband information is tied to individual location points representing buildings or structures.
Enter the complete street address, including apartment or unit information where applicable. Ting's Memphis availability system and the private providers' address checkers can determine current eligibility and offers that a general Memphis page cannot.
Look beyond the headline monthly price. Check the regular rate, promotional period, equipment, installation, data policy, contract terms and upload speed before comparing plans.
Use the ZIP page as a starting point, then verify service directly with the provider.

This page was researched using current provider information, City of Memphis broadband-project information and FCC broadband-data documentation. Provider advertising is treated as a statement of what the company currently offers, not as independent proof that every Memphis address can receive the service.
Provider pricing, plan names, availability and network capabilities can change. The FCC map is useful for comparing reported availability but does not independently guarantee that a provider will accept an order at a particular address. Smart Memphis Fiber project commitments likewise provide deployment context rather than an address-level service guarantee. Final eligibility and pricing should be confirmed directly with the provider.
Pricing & availability disclosure: Prices, advertised speeds, promotional terms, equipment, installation charges and availability can change without notice. Promotional offers may have customer, geographic, billing or service requirements. Broadband availability can also differ between nearby addresses, buildings and units. This page is an informational comparison and does not guarantee that any provider or plan is available at a particular location. Confirm the provider's current offer and terms before ordering.
